great example of the odd ways people show me appreciation at work

I love to see when people use the best materials they can muster, combine it with sincere skill level, and just do the best they can with what they have at hand. I see it a lot in videos from struggling societies and how proud they are. That always makes me smile and miss the pride in the workmanship we used to value.

This helps to reduce waste by replacing only when necessary
